Alchemy Pay’s payment gateway
The Alchemy Pay payment gateway allows users to make payments using Visa Inc.’s (NYSE:V), Mastercard (NYSE: MA), Diners Club, and Discover across 173 countries, along with mobile wallets and domestic transfers in developing markets.
Alchemy Pay’s user-friendly low fees, exceptional conversion rates, and KYC process make buying and selling cryptocurrencies with local currencies as expedient as any online payment system. Its extensive network has more than 300 fiat payment channels, permitting checkouts beyond card payments into local mobile wallet options.
